Implementing Decision 10/CMP.7
CCS in the CDM
Tim DixonIEA Greenhouse Gas R & D
Programme
UNFCCC 1st SDM Workshop 25 March
IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme
• A collaborative international research programme founded in 1991• Aim: To provide information on the role that technology can play in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions from use of fossil fuels.
• Focus is on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS)
• Producing information that is:Objective, trustworthy, independentPolicy relevant but NOT policy prescriptiveReviewed by external Expert Reviewers
• Activities: Studies and reports (>250); International Research Networks : Wells, Risk, Monitoring, Modelling, Oxy, Capture, Social Research, Solid Looping; Communications (GHGT conferences, IJGGC, etc); facilitating and focussing R&D and demonstration activities eg Weyburn; Summer School; peer reviews.
10/CMP.7 Implementation RequirementsEB:1. Enable submission of methodologies and PDDs
•Review CDM documents (Standards, Procedures, Guidelines, Forms) for changes to include requirements of CCS M&Ps
•Enact changes if required and issue revised documents
DOE, DNA, EB:1. Enable consideration and processing of such applications
•Including DOE, EB and DNA competencies and capabilities
Review of Documents....For example:• Standards:
Project Standard – needs updatingValidation and Verification Standard – needs updatingBaseline and Monitoring Methodology – Project Developer
• Procedures: • Guidelines:
• Annex, C.4(h) – DOE criteria - needed
• Annex, C.4(b-g). Whether descriptions in 10/CMP.7 are sufficient to guide project developers to provide right information and level of detail for DOEs and DNAs? Or is further guidance required?
• Site-specific nature of storage – avoid being too prescriptive, eg monitoring very site-specific
• Draw upon existing best practice
• Forms – need updating
Host Country
• Ability to meet Participation Requirements
•Capacity building required? Or self-development?
• Ability for DNA to confirm Validation requirements
Existing Best Practice
• Best Practice Guidelines, including:
•USA NETL: Site Selection and Characterisation; Risk analysis; MVA; etc
•DNV: CO2QUALSTORE, CO2PIPETRANS; CO2WELLS, etc
•IEA: Model Legal Framework
•IEAGHG technical reports, eg on site selection
• Project-level permit and regulation decisions, eg
•NRCan on QUEST project (2012)
•EC on ROAD project (2012)
EB CCS Working Group
• Establishment of CCS Working Group
• Expertise required:
•CCS technical
•CCS regulatory/permit decisions
•CDM methodology
• Encourage all reviews and decisions on applications should be in relation to current best practice
• Site-specific nature of storage
